WANA (Sep 05) – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has warned U.S. military forces that continued actions against Iranian ships and a maritime blockade of Iran would trigger a stronger response from Iran’s armed forces.

 

Colonel Ibrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said on Saturday that if what he described as “hostile actions, insecurity and harassment of Iranian ships, and a maritime blockade of Iran” continue, Iran’s armed forces would intensify their attacks against U.S. military vessels in the region.

 

Zolfaqari also warned that the scope of such actions could expand, a statement that comes amid heightened military tensions in the region and signals the possibility of further escalation between Iranian and U.S. forces in regional waters.
